The silent agreement in the Unity lens interactions is that the URI
column is very free form and mostly internal (wow, can we get more
sloppy? ;-)). We've introduced another address mechanism for results
which is, for now, called the "external uri" - or maybe justifiably a
URL. This external URI *must* be correct and addressable from the
outside (hence URL makes sense). So I think we can document our selves
out of this problem?

Robert Carr committed a fix to the apps lens to support this:

revno: 227.1.1
    committer: Robert Carr <[email protected]>
    branch nick: unity-lens-applications

    message:

files to unity. Lets us drag and drop an application to the desktop fo example
